ACME472 Song Whistle

I use a whistle for work everyday. This is the best ive ever used. Not super high pitched, so it doesn’t kill your ears, but its Loud!I cant stand the new style, plastic, pealess kind.

So far, it sounds like a duck call. But after watching YouTube tutorials, I'm getting better.

Woe to all those who park in my spot! I shall call my crow army to poop on your car! Vengance will be mine!

It's fun to use. You need to practice a bit to get it to warble. The sound effect depends on the water level in the reservoir. It's a little tricky to get the correct water level to maintain the sound. This is not very loud, which is fine with me.

I got this whistle because it sounded different and realistic bird call. I didn't expect that the sparrows in the backyard would come down and landed close by and watch me play with the whistle. I just hope that the neighbors won't get irritated by me blowing this thing all the time. The instructions were horrible and way off. It took a long time to get this to sound nice. Here's what worked for me. I used a plastic pipet to fill the water. Instead of filling with only 1/4, I'd fill it at least 1/3 with water. When I cover up the whistle hole and blow in it and can hear the bubbles, I know that I have enough water. Instead of leaving the rubber grommet and screw off, I'd put it on but loosely; this gave it louder and more consistent calls. It tends to have a consistent nice effect if I tilt it and hold it at about 45 degrees instead of upright. This tends to get it to create the Nightingale call instead of just a whistle. I noticed that I didn't have to blow as hard when holding at 45 degrees. Hope this helps.BTW...make sure to wash any ACME whistle mouthpiece before use because they manually test every whistle before shipping. Check out the YouTube video about this.

Good purchase

Why did I use ALL CAPS in the headline? Because I'm YELLING! I bought the Acme 58.5 Thunderer Whistle (Large), and I'm YELLING because I can't hear myself think. Turns out, it's exactly what I had hoped it would be. I wanted a large, scary-loud whistle to scare away woodpeckers that peck on our house, deer that eat our precious plants, and assorted other wild animals that pose a threat to pets. After it first arrived, I tested it inside and scared myself -- so I knew it would work. So far, so good. A mob of four deer visited our backyard for a leisurely brunch the other day. Three toots and they moved on . . . quickly. Nevertheless, a word of caution. If you have sensitive hearing, cover your ears when you toot. The whistle is that piercing. Very well-made. Should last forever. Definitely worth the price when I purchased it.

Put hear plugs or cotton in your ears when you blow this whistle , if anyone else can't hear this out in the wilderness or wherever you are then they are probably deaf .

A bit expensive but you certainly get what you pay for. Nice and study and more than loud enough for the job!

The Acme Thunderer whistle – large, is a mighty fine whistle! On a recent TV train journey Michael Portillo visited the Birmingham factory of J Hudson & Co – now known as Acme Whistles – and watched these whistles being made. The love and attention that went into their production made me want one – although I don't have a serious need for one other than as a bit of fun. I'm really glad I bought one as it is a genuinely lovely thing – British engineering and manufacturing at it's best! Whatever your need I'm sure you will not be disappointed with an Acme whistle.

This is a very sturdy whistle that is very easy to make a great sound. I ordered Saturday afternoon and it was here less than 24 hours later!

Easily heard, great for use at football etc

Really high quality. I do not know why they call it brass. It is looks like stainless steel.
